India: UK's Rishi Sunak Committed To Free Trade Pact With India, Downing Street

NEW DELHI, 03 November 2022, (TON): Downing Street said “intensive negotiations continue towards a free trade agreement between India and the UK and new British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is committed to achieving a balanced deal.”

Rishi Sunak, who took charge at 10 Downing Street last week, had a very warm introductory call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during which both sides expressed their commitment towards an FTA.

The UK Prime Minister's office also reiterated that the focus remains on a balanced trade deal that benefits both sides and therefore no timeframe is being specified after a proposed Diwali timeline had to be abandoned last month amid political turmoil in the UK.
